I'm proud to say that my books would likely be banned in some places because they include diversity, just as the real world does. Stand up for intellectual freedom! #bannedbooksweek #freedomtoread #EricaJurusAuthor #ejchaosroads #booksky

Photography is a hobby of mine, so for countdown Creepy Crawlies theme, how about a pic of this gorgeous stick insect I took in the Peruvian cloud forest? Background colours faded out to make it stand out more. #100DaysToHalloween #EricaJurusAuthor #ejchaosroads #booksky

Long before fairies became cute little creatures, in folklore they were hazardous to humans. Tonight's blog post looks at the culture of the Fae in both old & modern literature, including my latest novel. #EricaJurusAuthor #ejchaosroads #ejroadsblog ericajurus.ca/page-blog-po... #booksky

To no one's surprise, I'm sure, I love a great b&w colour scheme, if it's not too severe. Looking back through old photos, thought I'd use this one from when my 1st novel came out, using some of my fave Halloween decor.

We're in the midst of a real-life culture war straight out the pages of a sci-fi novel. But fans & the places they gather thrive in the face of it all! More in tonight's blog post. ericajurus.ca/page-blog-po...
